GET THE FILES: • https://github.com/ScarlettSparks/KnittingMachine or • https://www.printables.com/model/1191632-flatbed-knitting-machine CORRECTION: in the needlebed assembly section I mention an "included" 3D printable nut and bolt for the clamp. In the end, I opted not to package that nut and bolt with the knitting machine files because I had used third-party code to generate them, which uses a different license than the one I ultimately chose for my project. However, I'll update the documentation with precise nut/bolt specs to fit the other clamp parts, so you can source something that will suit your use case. DISCLOSURE: This video was not sponsored or endorsed by any company, including GitHub. However, in the interest of transparency, because I do prominently mention and link to my repository there, I should note that I am a former employee (as of many years ago) and a family member is a current employee (at time of publication). ======================= SUPPORT MY WORK If you've found value in these videos and would like to see more of them, please consider supporting my work with a monthly or one-time contribution over at Patreon: https://patreon.com/sparkscuriosity Or if Patreon isn't your jam, you can also leave me a tip here on YouTube with SuperThanks.
